I'm a run of the mill individualist and homo bopiens living in Stockholm. Have a hard time letting the pillow go, especially on Monday mornings and the bed and I have a love affair you can only dream of. ;O) BUT no love affair with BETA channel design! No serrie...8O(

Like to have a good scotch once a while with invited guests: Socrates, Oscar Wilde, Salma Hayeck and Friedrich Nietzsche. A Hoyo del Monterey to get a sweet taste and then Eddie Cochran, Elvis anno '57 or Jussi Björling can perform.

Alfred Packer also wanted to come for dinner, but as he is the only person in USA convicted for cannibalism, the other guests felt uncomfortable. Thus his approval is pending.

In 1953 Eddie moved to Bells Gardens, CA, hence the username. Don't let the strings rattle, folks
About Me:
 
I watch people: At first I thought he was walking a dog. Then I realized it was his date. Some people have all the characteristics of a dog except loyalty.

There is no distinctly American criminal class - except the Congress.
- Mark Twain

Twain abouth his father:
- When I was 20 I thought he was the stupidest man I ever met. When turning 30 I was surprised how much the old man had matured the last 10 years. ;O)

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.

With ignorance and confidence sucess is granted.
Hometown:
Stockholm
Country:
Sweden
Occupation:
Time machine researcher.
Companies:
Staying alive
Schools:
School of hard knocks aka life
Hobbies:
Crawled out of my dungeon of lazyness and 'kill' the weights now, so beware CA - maybe you'll have to change to a new Governor soon. ;O) Music. History. Internet. People. Books. Everything that's going on in the world but at same time I get tired of all disasters, criminals, diseases, greed, corruption, stupidity, ignorance. political corectness. All, isms, religions and cultures that use violence, kill and throw havoc on fellow men in order to stay in power. Every generation seems/are bound to repeat same mistakes as the preceeding one. Many times men have only learnt that they haven't learnt anything from history.Dislike the trolls that thrives in the void and sometimes snatch info from me.Prefer car instead of Air plane. Don't like to be up there in the void!
Movies:
Best movies lately: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Air I Breathe, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, Batman Begins, I'm A Fugitive From A Chain Gang. Some all time favorites: Leaving Las Vegas, Capote, The Last picture show, Der Untergang, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Last Detail, Fawlty Tower, Heat, On the Waterfront, Das Boot, The Thin Red Line, Schindler's List (only time a movie have been better than the book), Alien. Favorite actors; Jack Nicholson. Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, M.Emmet Walsh (The Walsh factor - if he's in a movie it can't be bad) John Lithgow. Philip Semour Hoffman. Mr 'pale face' Christopher Walken. Stan and Laurel. Marx Brothers.
Music:
Rockn'Roll, R and B, Blues, Rock-A-Billy, Boogie-woogie, Soul, Gospel, Zydeco, Cajun, Opera ( tenors ) etc. In the time frame late 1930s to early 1960s. Highlight is the nifty fifties. Since then it's been downhill. Some new music too if it feels right but most of it doesn't. I'm stuck in a time bubble...and I feel damn proud of it!
Books:
The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer. Too many non fictional mentioning here.

Hej Roland!
Det är bra att du skriver ärliga kommentarer, när folk häver ur sig nästan vad som helst.Jag har märkt att de som vet minst om musik har de "säkraste åsikterna".Då kan det vara bra att någon törs säga några sanningens ord...

Hi! Yes, that´s what I thought. Two guys with the same name, living in the same place - must be the same guy. And I love both of your channels!
